Two New York lawmakers on Friday announced that they are introducing a bill that would impose a three-year moratorium on data center development. Lawmakers in at least five other states—Georgia, Maryland, Oklahoma, Vermont, and Virginia—have also introduced bills this year that would impose various forms of temporary pauses on data center development.

New York currently has more than 130 data centers, with several large-scale projects. These projects are colliding with mounting concerns over impacts from data centers on the electric grid, environmental worries, and whether or not consumers would be footing the bill. Last month, as part of a larger set of actions intended to protect ratepayers from high energy costs, New York’s governor, Kathy Hochul, launched a new initiative to improve interconnection and grid upgrades while requiring data centers to “pay their fair share.”

This is a general Binance Exchange Notice. Products and services referred to here may not be available in your region.

Fellow Binancians,

At Binance, we periodically review each digital asset we list to ensure that it continues to meet a high level of standard and industry requirements. When a coin or token no longer meets these standards or the industry landscape changes, we conduct a more in-depth review and potentially delist it. Our priority is to ensure the best services and protections for our users while continuing to adapt to evolving market dynamics.

When we conduct these reviews, we consider a variety of factors. Below are the updated metrics we look at that influence whether we decide to delist a digital asset:

Commitment of team to project

Level and quality of development activity

Trading volume and liquidity

Stability and safety of network from attacks

Level of public communication, community engagement, and transparency

Responsiveness to our periodic due diligence requests

Evidence of unethical/fraudulent conduct or negligence

New regulatory requirements

Material/unjustified increase in token supply or changes to tokenomics

Impact from changes to the project’s ownership structure or to the core team members

Community sentiments

Margin

Cross Margin & Isolated Margin

Binance Margin will delist the aforementioned token(s) from Cross and Isolated Margin at 2026-02-06 10:00 (UTC) (the “Margin Scheduled Delisting Time”). The cross and isolated margin pair(s) of the aforementioned token(s) will be removed from Margin. Effective immediately, users will no longer be able to transfer any amount of the aforementioned token(s) via manual transfers and Auto-Transfer Mode for Cross and Isolated Margin into their Margin Accounts. If users hold outstanding liabilities of said tokens, these users may only manually transfer up to the amount of liabilities of that token into their Margin Accounts, less any collateral already available.

At 2026-02-03 06:00 (UTC), Binance Margin will suspend borrowings on the aforementioned cross margin token(s) and isolated margin pair(s).

At the Margin Scheduled Delisting Time, Binance Margin will close users’ positions, conduct an automatic settlement, and cancel all pending orders on the aforementioned isolated margin pair(s), which will then be removed from isolated margin.

At the Margin Scheduled Delisting Time, if users hold both collateral and liabilities of the aforementioned token(s) on cross margin, the collateral will be used to repay the respective liabilities. If there are remaining collateral or liabilities of the aforementioned token(s), one of two options below will occur:

If users only hold the aforementioned token(s) in the form of collateral:

If the Collateral Margin Level (CML) is above 2, the aforementioned token(s) will be transferred to users’ Spot Accounts, up to the point when the CML reaches 2. The remaining token(s) in their Cross Margin accounts that are to be delisted will then be fully sold.

If the CML is below 2, the remaining token(s) in users’ Cross Margin Accounts that are to be delisted will be fully sold.

If users only hold the aforementioned token(s) in the form of liabilities:

If CML is at or above 2, pending orders will not be affected.

If the CML is below 2, all pending orders in their Cross Margin Accounts will be canceled.

The system will then sell other collateral tokens to buy and fully repay the delisting token(s)’ liabilities.

Please note that users will not be able to update their positions during the delisting process, which may take approximately 3 hours. Users are strongly advised to close their positions and/or transfer their assets from Margin Accounts to Spot Accounts prior to the cessation of margin trading. Binance will not be responsible for any potential losses.

Portfolio Margin

If the aforementioned token(s) remain in the Portfolio Margin Account after the Margin Scheduled Delisting Time, they will be automatically liquidated. The delisted margin assets will be sold for USDT, and the proceeds will be added to the user's Portfolio Margin balance. Binance is not liable for any losses incurred.

Portfolio Margin users are advised to transfer the aforementioned token(s) out of their Margin Accounts to their Spot Accounts and to top up their margin balance before the Margin Scheduled Delisting Time where applicable. Users should monitor the Unified Maintenance Margin Ratio (uniMMR) closely to avoid any potential liquidation that may result from the removal of the aforementioned token(s) from the Margin Account.

Please Note: For futures perpetual contracts, please refer to the relevant Futures announcements.
